A twisting, winding river bends into the unknown. You travel by boat, starting at the warm and loving sea. Streams branch off until it's hard to tell if they lead to a calm pond or raging river. Make your choice at the fork, but be wise, it is extremely difficult to go upstream. The stream that appears most calm may sink your boat. Some people make it to the shining lake, others hit a dam. Choose the wise path at the fork, and you too may end up at the lake.
Guglielmo Marconi: An Influential Person
What would one do without the radio? Where would someone listen to the news, sports, or just enjoy some music? Without a very important man, Guglielmo Marconi, the radio wouldn’t exist. Marconi did many experiments that led to the radio transmitter. One of his experiments was a storm alarm that rang when there was lightning. It was only built out of a battery, a coherer, and an electric bell. Another one of his experiments was to increase the range of his transmitter. He made the antennas longer and the range increased. Finally, on January 18th, 1903, he transmitted a radio message from the President at the time, Theodore Roosevelt, to King Edward VII of the UK. It was the first overseas radio transmission from the United States, and on October 17th, 1907, a transatlantic radio/telegraph service between Glace Bay and Ireland began. (Even though it was hard for the company to provide reliable service.) Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Braun received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to the radio transmitter. In conclusion, Guglielmo Marconi was very vital to radio transmitters.
As the farmers harvest crops
Nature blooms around them
Flower, tree, and bush
Don't lift their eyes

Tiny Chinese Archicebus Fossil is Oldest Primate Yet Found http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22770646
In China, scientists have discovered a fossil of an ancient primate that connects anthropoids and tarsiers in the primate timeline/family tree. The small, agile, insect-eating animal is considered to be the oldest primate fossil so far, being 55 million years old. It shows important features of the past and helps scientists with completing the timeline of primates.
The last two lines make me kind of sad. Good poem. Mr. Chester
I thought his last name was Macaroni at first! I love his name! ~From Hattie :D
Wait, his name isn't Macoroni? -Marina :)
4's both. I like the picture of Marconi that you found. Mr. Chester
